Miller v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Miller’s convictions for malice murder and related offenses arising from a shootout that killed a child and injured another. The court held that the evidence was sufficient under a party-to-the-crime theory, that the indictment did not create a fatal variance because it adequately informed Miller of the charges and protected against subsequent prosecution, and that involuntary-manslaughter instructions were unwarranted because the underlying conduct constituted aggravated assault, a felony.
